Let's Meet Ryley!

Chapter Three: My Perfect Girl

"So what was the highlight?"

"Honestly, it had to be when I won the entire competition."

"And you were eight?"

"Yup. The judges sure loved it."

"An eight year old choreographing and performing her own routine. Who wouldn't?"

"That's what everybody said."

"Their not wrong."

The skate to school was very enjoyable. Along with Spyder and Harris, the conversation lasted awhile. They talked about each other, weekend plans, and school. Although, the current topic was Ryley's first competition as a cheerleader. First place. It was an amazing day for her. Everyone could picture it exactly.

"So, do you compete still?" Ryan had asked.

"Yeah. Only on the weekends though. With games and traveling, I've been pretty busy." Ryley answered.

Ryan nodded.

"Okay so, do you think you could talk to your friends about me?" Spyder questioned.

The four had opened the school doors. They entered as class was only 10 minutes away from starting.

"Why?" Harris wondered.

"I want one of them to pretend to be my girlfriend." Spyder replied.

Ryley raised an eyebrow.

"Again, why?" She quizzed.

"So Cassie will be jealous." Spyder explained.

Harris shook his head. Ryley placed a hand on her hip and Ryan crossed his arms.

"Look, if she didn't notice you before, she's not going to now." Ryan stated.

"Notice who?"

Ryley turned around to see Paige. She was one of her best friends on the squad. The boys faced the girl. Spyder's eyes widened. Her brunette hair was curled, falling against her back. Those green eyes sparkled brighter than the lights in the school. The sight of her made the daredevil forget their previous conversation.

"Hey Paige." Ryley greeted.

"Hi. Hi guys." Paige said.

Her voice was so sweet. The smile on her face would make you want to smile back. She seemed innocent, which meant that she could be secretly terrifying. The cheerleader straightened out her outfit as she faced her best friend.

"That's Harris, Ryan, and the boy who looks like he just won a million dollars is Spyder." Ryley introduced.

"Hey." Ryan greeted.

"Hi." Harris welcomed.

"How's it going?" Spyder threw in.

Paige gave them a mini wave.

"I'm Paige. So, you guys coming with us for tacos?" She asked.

"Uh huh." Spyder replied.

Paige beamed.

"Great! And as much as I love burgers, I'll put them aside. I'm watching my figure anyway." She stated.

Ryley nodded.

"Girl, the way I eat I'm surprised I still got a figure." She admitted.

"Riles, you workout everyday. No wonder your still in good shape. I exercise most of the time, but I need to breathe. Unlike some people, I don't want to be overworked." Paige spoke.
